A Drunken Young Man Carried Miles
From Home.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Sept. 12.-When the
door of q freight-car belonging to the New
York, Pennsylvania s. Ohio railroad was
opened in this city this morning, Il pale
young man fell fainting out upon the
platform. He was revived after u time.
aud though almost too weak to talk he
managed to explain that he WAS nearly
dead with hunger. He snatched the food
supplied and dsyoured it so ravenously
that those around him had to keep up q
vigorous pounding of his bach to prevent
him from choking at every mouthtul. The
man after q time explained that he had
been in the car four days without food or
drink. He said his name was Paul Gorum
and that he had lived in Jamestown,N n. Y.
He had gone to Buffalo ON q spree witt,
several friends, and when he sobered up
he found himself In the darkness and
whirling along at a rapid rate. AS his
senses gradually returned he began t,,
realize that he was locked in a freight
car with no possible means of escape nm
til tbs car should be switched of at IT'S
destination. Gornm Is hashily dressed
and had enough in his pocket to pay his
fare home. The only. way he explains
his queer adventures is that he had wan
dered down to the Erie depot in Buffalo
to return home and he got into a loaded
freight-car before the seal had been at
tached to the lock, He said he would
not be surprised to hear Of his eompan-
Ions turning up at various points with
stories Of SINH ar adventures.

had probably been picked up from the
ground sold readily at so cents each.
When he strangers exhibited their pur-
chases to the local doctors the latter ex-
pressed their opinion that a syindls had
